@Makayla McDonald I would actually suggest you connect with another BP user in OKC, @Ryan Johnston.

Run credit and background checks, actually call the listed referrals, and ask for bank statements.

Most hosts in Chicago just pocket the full funds from direct booking, you would be in the very very small majority if actually paid city taxes on it.

@Chris Lin not sure where else you own properties, but all their fees are what is normal for the Metro Detroit area.We have heard some PMCs offer lower fees in other parts of the country, but from what we've researched, these only apply to Class A properties - which are REAL easy to manage.We actually charge LESS than average to manage Class A rentals in our market.

Any recommendations for hard money lenders?

Is that aligned with what's actually out there?

They do not appreciate like actual real estate and your caliber of tenant can be lower which can bring with it its own problems. 

Now solely as a lender, i actually reverted back to it in unison with our mortgage origination software. 

Manage the entire P&L for your clients as if it's your own money.4.

I had the initial call with a PadSplit sales person, but I wanted to talk to somebody who's actually doing it to get their perspective and advice.
